Jenny Kahrl - Montana Red Devons

Montana Red Devons breeds hardy, fertile, docile Devons raised at 5000’ elevation. The majority of summer grazing at the ranch is on open dryland pastures, so Montana Red Devons must be animals that can thrive in high heat, low humidity, and lack of shade. Winters are dry and often windy with little shelter, so cattle must thrive in both extremes of temperatures.

Breeder and owner Jenny Kahrl selects only those animals that have excellent conformation, with heifers that mature within 15-18 months, exhibit good mothering, raise sturdy efficient calves, and breed back dependably. Bulls are selected for forage efficient conformation and easy fleshing, are tested for soundness and high fertility as yearlings, and kept as breeding animals only if they also show high docility.
